Ma Guanghui and Li Benshen led 10,000 Qing troops, and they were like bamboos along the way, killing the corpses of the Korean army all over the field.The Qing army's expedition this time, if Ma Guanghui's mood can only be summed up in one word, it is - cool.The North Korean army was crushed at the touch, fleeing all over the mountains, the Qing soldiers were killed, the Koreans smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and the girls fled in a hurry, and the Qing army cut melons and vegetables to harvest their lives.For a time, Ma Guanghui, who was continuously deflated in the hands of the Ming army, regained his majesty on the Korean battlefield.On the battlefield, there was a scene when the Qing army entered the customs earlier, where the Qing army hit, the Koreans immediately ran wildly, and even before the Qing army arrived, the Korean army stationed in the city disappeared.On the road from Pyongyang to Seoul, a Qing army commander with more than 100 Qing soldiers could chase thousands of Koreans, and the Qing army also felt that it was very reasonable.Ma Guanghui and Li Benshen left Pyongyang and went south, and the road to Seoul can be said to be extremely smooth.The Qing army had only 10,000 people in the front, but there were more than 100,000 Koreans fleeing for their lives, and the newly recruited Korean servant army was defeated faster and more thoroughly than Lin Qingzhi before, and more than 100,000 people were easily defeated by Ma Guanghui in Kaesong.10,000 broke 100,000, and the fields were full of routs fleeing in a hurry, as well as the figure of the Qing army's brave pursuit.Such a scene is enough to make any general feel a little arrogant and overestimate his strength.At this time, even the more cautious Li Benshen gave up his vigilance and only urged the army forward.Within a few days, the Qing army penetrated the Yellow Sea Road and entered the vicinity of Seoul.When Ma Guanghui's army arrived sixty miles north of Seoul, he received a message from the North Korean population, "The Haikou have retreated, and Seoul is empty." ”When Ma Guanghui heard that Zhao Ming had withdrawn, he immediately urged the army to advance to confirm the accuracy of the news.In the north of Seoul, in the hills near the Biho Pavilion, 10,000 Qing troops advanced rapidly, and the soldiers undulated with hats on their heads, and their footsteps shook the mountains and forests.On a hill, several scouts of the Ming army watched the mighty and high-morale Qing army in the woods, and when they saw it waving the "horse" and "Li" flags, they knew that they were the vanguard of the Qing army.This 10,000 Qing army rushed to Seoul, and the Qing soldiers had sharp swords and spears, strong shields, strong guns, and artillery, so they knew that it was an elite army.The scout observed for a moment, then immediately turned his horse's head and ran down the hill, taking another shortcut to the Bihoof Pavilion.At this time, Zhao Ming, who had already received the news, ordered the soldiers of the Ming army to hide in the hills.This time, the 6,000 land divisions of the Ming army, because they wanted to block Hong Chengchou and reinforce the rescue forward, so Yu Guowang led a battalion of more than 3,000 elite infantry troops to block Hong Chengchou, Zhao Ming had only one cavalry battalion in his hands, about 3,000 horse troops, and 2,000 musketeers drawn from the naval division, 2,000 warriors, and 1,000 Japanese soldiers, a total of 8,000 people set up ambushes.At this time, the scout ran back into the woods, came to a big rock, turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly reported: "Commander Qiqi, the inferior rank and others have already explored clearly, Ma Guanghui and Li Benshen are here, and the 10,000 Qing troops will pass through this place in half a time." ”Ma Guanghui and Li Benshen are Zhao Ming's old opponents, Zhao Ming knows that these two people are not rice buckets, they still have some ability, plus the Qing army has more troops than the Ming army ambushed by the people, and among the Ming army, there are still 4,000 sailor officers and soldiers who are not good at land warfare, so Zhao Ming is still more cautious.Zhao Ming sat on the big stone and asked the scout who reported the news: "Do you know where Hong Chengchou has gone?"
”The scout immediately clenched his fists and replied, "Commander Qiqi, the Hong thief should have arrived in Kaesong." ”Kaesong is less than 100 miles away from Seoul and less than 80 miles away from the Biho Pavilion, and the cavalry led by Hong Chengchou can rush to the vicinity of the Bihu Pavilion within half a day.Zhao Ming couldn't help frowning, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "How is the equipment of the Qing army?"
”The scout hurriedly replied: "Marshal Qiyu, there are not many enemy cavalry, mainly infantry troops, but although the Qing infantry is a green battalion, the equipment is very elite.Compared with us, in addition to the lack of armor, they had muskets and field bronze cannons, and the marching ranks were vast and murderous, and they were by no means a rabble. ”Zhao Ming frowned slightly, the Green Battalion soldiers were actually equipped with muskets and field bronze cannons with the army, which showed that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had indeed obtained a large number of firearms from Xiyi, and they could actually equip the Green Battalion.Obviously, the combat power of the Qing army's forward is not bad, and Hong Chengchou is very close, which increases the difficulty of the Ming army's ambush.At this time, Gu Yanwu said slowly: "Great marshal, the army has set up an ambush, so it can only fight."
Although the green battalion soldiers are equipped with a lot of equipment, they are not expected to be as skilled as our army. ”Ding Weiyue said loudly: "Our seven or eight thousand soldiers in Donghai Town can defeat nearly 10,000 and eight banners, and can't we destroy 10,000 Qing troops?"
”Zhao Ming bowed his head slowly, since he decided to fight, he had to show courage, and Zhao Ming would not be afraid of the defeat of his two subordinates.Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The Qing army's vanguard has distanced itself from the main force, and now the lone army is deep, which is a good time for the commander to annihilate it."
The key to winning this battle lies in two points: first, to cut off the connection between the Qing army's advance and the Qing army's main force, and second, to completely annihilate the Qing army's advance before the main force of the Qing army breaks through the blockade. ”"Obey!"
Zhao Ming suddenly shouted, and many generals immediately stood up straight, puffed up their chests, and looked solemn.Zhao Ming immediately waved his fist and said: "This battle is in a quick decision."
As soon as the Qing army's advance arrived, the artillery bombardment, the horse army rushed out directly, broke the Qing army's columns, and prevented the Qing army from forming a formation. ”"Whoa!"
The generals immediately answered with a loud voice.Half an hour later, under the hill, the Qing soldiers with flags and weapons passed by the road mightily.At this time, Zhao Ming stood on the top of the hill, and from the gap in the branches, he looked at the Qing army marching densely under the hill, and raised his left hand.In the dense forest behind him, countless Ming soldiers stared at Zhao Ming's back, and they clenched their weapons and torches one after another.Soon, 10,000 Qing troops entered the area ambushed by the Ming army, Zhao Ming suddenly waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Kill me!"
”On the hill, the gunners hiding in the woods immediately lit the artillery, and the "boom, boom, boom" cannon sound sounded one after another, and in the dense forest of the hill, clouds of white smoke rose up, and the shells roared and fell into the ranks of the Qing army, screaming and rising to the sky.Under the banner, Ma Guanghui instantly understood what was happening, and immediately exclaimed, "It's not good, there is an ambush." ”This made the Qing soldiers tremble, and at this moment, there was a rolling and muffled thunder on the hillside, and Li Benshen looked up and saw countless cavalry, rushing down from the hill and rushing straight to the Qing army.In an instant, Li Benshen was shocked, brandishing his war knife and roaring, "Quick, form a formation!"
